Default RE: Big Game Rifle

That's hilarious. To think all I have is only capable of hunting crow, squirrel and rabbit. Dangit! What about a bazooka?? I want to get ahead of the curve here.

Your right 308. But it seems it must wear the magnum name or have 5000 lbs ME to do the job on today's much tougher big game.
It's getting tougher all the time. Here's this years recommended minimums:

Crow, squirrel & rabbit = 30-06 or 7mm Rem.Mag.
Antelope = 300 Magnum
Deer (whitetails) = 338 Mag.
Deer (mulies) = 375 H&H
Elk = 416 Mag. (Rem. or Rigby)
Moose = 460 Wthby.Mag.
Elephant = 50BMG

These ought to do, for a year or two

Oh, and BTW, for those big bears, carry some GRENADES!
